I took my girlfriend around tassie (about 1,500ks) in February for 10 ten days on the back of the busa. She loved every minute of it and was very comfortable but it cost me a new tyre.
The Ventura rack with a 36 litre bag (way overloaded) also enjoyed the trip and it acted as a backrest for her, even though the instructions warn against this.
Compared to my previous bike a VFR800, which is quite comfortable for a pillion, she voted the busa miles ahead in the comfort department.
Now that leads me to contemplate the backrest issue further:
I am considering a BMW style pillion back support to be somehow engineered into the existing grabrail of the busa for easy removal, as I don't always ride with a pillion.
If anyone can contribute information or comment on this please do so under the new Topic "PILLION BACKREST" which I have started.
Cheers
